About this game
This is an emotion-focused short narrative game with an average playtime of around 1 hour.
We believe that seeing and understanding our own emotions is a strength in itself. May this inner journey bring you moments of calm and resonance.
Anxiety Puppy is an interactive visual novel that tells the story of a young girl in a bustling city, who, while struggling with the pressures of life and work, unexpectedly embarks on a spiritual journey toward reconciling with her anxiety.
Her life trajectory seems no different from anyone else’s—studying, finding a job, working, with days that repeat endlessly.
However, only she knows that beneath every seemingly calm day, anxiety grows like an uncontrollable black line, suffocating her breath and tightening her nerves.
On one of her usual sleepless nights, her anxiety spirals out of control again, and she is pulled into a strange world. What is it? She doesn’t know, but maybe she can talk to it.
Game Features:
Fresh Hand-drawn Style – A beautiful, healing, original illustrated storybook art style.
Unique Game Theme – The game focuses on anxiety and aims to raise players’ awareness of this emotion.
Warm and Healing Story – The protagonist will undergo self-exploration through dialogue and interaction, ultimately finding reconciliation with herself.
Her story is not a lonely one.
She could be you, or me, or anyone struggling with anxiety.
But in reality, anxiety is not our enemy.
It is more like a well-meaning but awkward friend, and we just haven’t learned how to get along with it yet.
This time, let anxiety transform into a little puppy, guiding you on a healing journey of self-reconciliation.
We hope that the next time you feel anxious, you will no longer criticize your emotions or yourself.
Because anxiety is not a monster; it’s just a little puppy easily unsettled.

Call for Localization Volunteers – Anxiety Puppy
Hello everyone, we are the development team behind Anxiety Puppy.Since the game's release, we have received feedback and encouragement from players around the world, which means a lot to our small team. What touches us the most is that, even though the language support is still quite limited, many players from countries like Japan, Russia, Germany, and others have still taken the time to play the game, resonating with and expressing their love for it.Because of this, we hope to add more language support to Anxiety Puppy in future updates so that more players can experience this emotional journey in their own language.However, we want to be honest with everyone:We are a very small team, with limited resources and budget, so we are currently unable to complete professional localization for all languages in a short amount of time. But we don't want to give up on this wish—if possible, we hope to cover as many languages as we can, so that this "puppy" can be understood by more people.Therefore, we would like to sincerely recruit volunteer translators to help us with localization in the following languages:JapaneseKoreanRussianFrenchGermanEnglish (Optimization)If you:Are a native speaker or have near-native proficiency in one of the above languages;Are proficient in English or Chinese;Have already played Anxiety Puppy, or have a strong interest in the game, understanding the emotions and expressions it aims to convey;Are willing to help us share these words with more players;Feel free to email us at puppystudio666@gmail.com, or contact us via social media (just briefly mention the languages you're proficient in).We will treat this localization process as carefully and responsibly as possible, and we will credit all contributors in the game.If needed, we can also provide a game key as a token of appreciation.Thank you so much for your time and effort. To us, this is not just about translating text, but about passing on emotions and understanding.Thank you for reading this...Read full article on Community Announcements (petittomato)AnnouncementsOfficial
A Warm and Whimsical Journey: Anxiety Puppy Launches Today!
Dear players,Today, Anxiety Puppy has finally made its way to meet you. This project, which has accompanied us through countless days and nights, now steps softly in front of you—just like a real little puppy.🐶The inspiration for this game comes from our team’s own experiences of living alongside anxiety. We wanted to transform that abstract sense of unease into a companion you can see, talk to, and even gently embrace. There are no intense battles in this game, nor complicated controls—it's more like an interactive picture book you can personally take part in. With warm hand-drawn art and a story about acceptance, we wanted to build a temporary emotional safehouse for you.🏠This is the first project ever created by our studio. It is also the most vulnerable—and the most courageous—project we've made:💧It’s “vulnerable” because it reveals the softest parts of our shared emotions.☀️It’s “courageous” because we finally dared to bring this vulnerability into the light, believing that it could also bring warmth.We know clearly that the game is not perfect: The pacing may feel a bit slow, the content may feel a bit short, and some parts may not fully convey what we hoped…But it carries our most sincere wish—that at some moment, you will find a small reconciliation with your own heart.❤️If you have already experienced this journey, we warmly welcome you to leave a review on our Steam page, no matter what your thoughts are.✍️ Every feeling—whether you were touched by a moment or left wanting more—will help guide us as we refine the game and continue forward.Just as the game tries to express: true healing begins with “seeing” and grows through “understanding.” And now, we also hope to see and understand—your feelings.💭 ——————————————————————————ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ︎ ———————————————————————DEMO Removal NoticeAfter the full version of the game is released, the demo will be taken down at the same time.
